                         and segmentation. A global competition criterion is used to impose 
                         an order of processing on all image pixels. The smoothing step 
                         employs an evolution equation controlled by the local curvature to 
                         denoise the image while preserving the features. The interactive 
                         segmentation step requires the user to select one definitive seed 
                         per region. Region growing is initiated around provisory seeds, 
                         which are automatically detected, labeled and eventually merged by 
                         the algorithm. A simple merging mechanism is used to handle the 
                         topological transformations required to remove the image 
                         over-segmentation. It is shown that accurate and fast segmentation 
                         results can be achieved for gray and color images using this 
                         simple method. Extension to 3D images is straightforward and 
                         easily handled.",
